Good afternoon. I have this lemonade set and wonder if any of you great lot can shed some light on it please. It is thin glass with what can only be described as an iridescence the same as the appearance of bubbles of the soap in washing up water...gorgeous prisms sitting on the clearness. The base of the jug has a round cut and polished pontil in the centre. I know a lot of these sets were Czech in origin but something tells me this is different. It has a 'Powell' texture to it. I have the jug and 5 glasses. Very grateful if anyone can help. Thank you as always.

Just wonder if it has any connection to the iridised "Pearl" line mentioned here which according to the article "...appear to have been blown."  ?

It's even more like the "Jasmin", underneath.

My first thoughts were that this set might be by the same company as made the solifleurs and other small things that sit on three solid balls...

Earth without art is just eh.

Hi Anne and Chopin,
Thank you for your advice. Keenly looked at and then I found myself being directed to the brilliant David Doty website where I came across Dunbar Aramis which is even more like my set. What an absolute minefield. If anyone else knows anything, I welcome their input. Thanks again.
